In a much-anticipated pre-European Championship friendly against Bulgaria, Slovenia will be looking to build on the momentum from their win over Portugal.
In a friendly match to prepare for the upcoming Euro 2024 Championships, Slovenia will hope for home advantage to count against Bulgaria. This game at the Stožice Stadium in Ljubljana, Slovenia, will be played on Saturday. Slovenia are paired with Denmark, Serbia, and England in Group C of the Euros, where they will look to make a mark and be the dark horse. Based on their performance in the qualifiers, that is not off the mark, as the Slovenians finished second in Group H of the qualifiers behind Denmark, with the same points and only separated by head-to-head points. They come into this match on the back of impressive form, winning four of their last five matches while drawing the others. Going further back, they have posted eight wins and one draw in their last ten matches, with their only defeat coming against Denmark in the qualifiers.
Bulgaria hasn't had much luck in the qualifiers, finishing bottom of Group G, which contained Hungary, Serbia, Montenegro, and Lithuania. Worse still, they couldn't win even one match, drawing and losing four matches each. They conceded 14 goals in the qualifiers and had problems with their backline. That said, Bulgaria can't be ruled out based on their recent form, which has seen them turn out to be a gritty opponent. They have drawn four and won one of their last five matches, including friends. While that puts some doubts in the minds of home fans, they will be more worried by the fact that Bulgaria drew two and won one of their last three friends
